He returned to the NBA campus on Monday and went through a four-day quarantine period before joining the Jazz for the playoff series.
The 32-year-old Conley announced the birth of his son, Elijah Michael Conley, on social media late Sunday. Conley is averaging 14.4 points and 4.4 assists in his first season with Utah.
He was acquired as part of a deal with Memphis in July 2019.
